One other thing I wanted to ask you. I know it’s minor but for me it’s pretty disappointing that the Initialize and Finalize operators aren’t simply constructor/destructor since those names are available in records already (constructor with no parameter that is).

I say this because the syntax is long and hard to remember and don’t follow the usual convention of constructors/destructors. Initialize and Finalize are the most common operators you implement so it makes sense they would follow the normal syntax rules (c++ does this for classes declared on the stack).

Was there any consideration to making the default constructor and destructor be used instead of class operators?
